Paracetamol or Acetaminophen is not remotely related to Penicillin or NSAID's (e.g. ibuprofen). The only way you will know is to take a small dose (half a tablet/about 250mg or even less) and see OR the expensive way and see an immunologist who will inject a small amount under your skin and observe any reaction. I've never heard of an allergy to it but I suppose it happens.

And then I read an article that says allergies to this do exist. The normal list: rash, angio-edema through to anaphylaxis. This is incredibly rare to the point where medical textbooks don't list it as a drug that causes allergies.

Most literature involves single case studies (which translates to most doctors will never see such a reaction) and one larger study where 12 or 24? people were collected who claimed an allergy, only two tested postive for the skin prick reaction test.
